David Hallyday Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You make my head swim
You know, you really took the boy by surprise !
I feel uneasy
And real queasy
'Cause this is threatening my very survival !
Gimme just a little cue
Hold on real tight
Could be a rough night
I get dizzy at this height
And I'm hopin' that you might...
Oh Vertigo
Catch me if I fall tonight !
They call it Vertigo
I think I'm gonna... fall tonight !
I'm on a tighttrope
Where did the net go ?
I'm up here, and I still don't know why
Don't wanna look don't
I'm gonna lose ground
I'll grow wings and then take to the sky !
Two can fly together much better than one
Wontcha come fly with me ?
Into the sunrise
Could be a fun rise
Yeah, ya gotta call it love
Guess, it took long enough !
They call it Vertigo
Fever goin' up, don't look down
Ooh oh baby I got it-Vertigo
I think I'm gonna... fall tonight
I got double vision
What a tough position I'm in
Got trouble sleepin'
Just can't keep my head up
Knew it could get scary
Nobody prepared me for this
I must be scay
Every day's a lot more insane
They call it Vertigo
Fever goin' up, don't look down
Ooh oh baby I got it-Vertigo
I think I'm gonna... fall tonight
The song "Vertigo" by David Hallyday is an interesting take on love and the fear and uncertainty that come with it. The lyrics describe the feeling of being in a tailspin, where the singer's head is swimming and he feels uneasy and queasy. He is afraid of falling, both physically and emotionally, and is looking for reassurance from his partner. He wants her to hold on tight because it could be a rough night, but at the same time, he knows that two can fly together much better than one. He is hoping that she will catch him if he falls, but at the same time, he acknowledges the risks involved and the feeling of being on a tightrope where the net is nowhere to be seen.
The chorus emphasizes the theme of vertigo, with the singer feeling like he is going to fall and needing someone to catch him. He describes the sensation of double vision and being in a tough position, unable to keep his head up or sleep properly. Despite the fear and uncertainty, he is willing to take a chance on love and fly into the sunrise with his partner. The song ends with a sense of triumph, with the singer finally finding someone who can help him overcome his fear of falling.
Overall, "Vertigo" is a captivating and relatable song that captures the emotional rollercoaster of love and the fear that comes with vulnerability. It is a testament to the power of human connection and the importance of having someone to catch you when you fall.
